Ford will debut an all-new pony car its staffers are calling Mustang III in mid-2014, just in time for the nameplate’s 50th anniversary. If artist Sean Smith has it right, the new generation will eschew retro styling for a look based largely on the Evos concept, minus the gullwing doors.
With the model planned to go global, marketers are looking to broaden the car’s nostalgic appeal with a slicker look, leaner weight, and underpinnings from an all-new platform.
Rumour has it this ‘Stang will at last make the switch to fully independent rear suspension, the better to compete with Chevy’s hit Camaro.
Power will likely come from a variation of the brand’s EcoBoost engines, with a V8 iteration a possibility.
The Mustang III will likely debut this time next year in New York.
